Well, Minecraft never offered to update since the bugfix after Halloween, sooooo..... I just deleted everything in the bin folder and started over. Seems to work now, I wonder why I never got that update? Strange.

Sometimes it just doesn't pick it up. If you played offline when the update was released, that may be why. Mine updated at first, but then I restored it to a backup of the previous version to remove some mods and it didn't update back to 1.2.1_01. I then had to delete the bin folder entirely and run the exe again to download the newest version back onto my computer.

Having those extra worlds is more important to me than anything in the update and looking at the free lava bucket and portal there is bound to be another update soonish.

or you can backup your minecraft.jar, update, then paste it back in there. I believe is the version (no extension) file that tells the program if a version update is needed or not, so as long as that file is the latest one then Minecraft won't update (I think, but that's what happened to me). Also, I'm having weird glitches after putting my .jar file back in there... I'm jumping on the water when I try to walk onto a canal without pressing spacebar for some reason...

I just set my firewall up for two settings. Setting A, Minecraft is allowed to do whatever it wants. Setting B, it's not allowed to go to the internet at all. If I want to update or play online (Both rare) then I can set it to Setting A pretty easily, and then set it back to Setting B when I'm done.
